South Korea: Dave Ryding, of Team GB, competes in the men’s slalom event at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

On this day

In 1878 Frank W Woolworth opened his first store in Utica, New York; in 1907 the first taxi cabs with meters were introduced in London; in 1928 Bert Hinkler landed after the first solo flight from England to Australia.

Nature notes

In some tall hedgerows there is a sparkle of white and green on a small tree that has loosely woven itself into the hedge. This is the cherry plum, which is usually the earliest tree to show blossom. The small, pure white flowers grow singly, or in clusters, and are widely spaced out across the tree. The leaf buds open to reveal glossy green leaves at the same time as the flowers appear. Cherry plum was probably brought here from the Middle East. It is often mistaken for blackthorn, or sloe. However, on blackthorn, which generally flowers in mid-March, the leaves come out well after the flowers, which at first glitter alone on the dark twigs. The next spring leaves to look out for are on elder trees, which are common and widespread, and also come into leaf very early.
